It’s not how you begin; it’s how you end that counts. In Genesis 46-47, we learn that wherever God may take us, and whatever situation he may put us, God is the faithful God, who always keeps his promises to the very end. That means that we too can live with a firm trust in God’s promises all the way to the end. Will you go on trusting in our faithful God?
